Look Inside

“Hey, Jen, what’s up?” Emily cleared the paperwork from her desk.
“Is it true? Are you really going to be gone for the entire summer?” Jen came over to help, her blue eyes filled with concern.
“’Fraid so,” Emily said. “My mom needs help with Fiddler’s Green. The pub was my father’s legacy...” Her mouth went dry, and she swallowed a few times before continuing. “I need to do what I can to save it.” She filed one stack of ungraded work into a folder she would take home that evening. “But Cassie and Peter are coming, too, so it’s not all on my shoulders.”
Jen pouted. “But I was hoping to get your opinion on the latest Mr. Right.”
Emily chuckled. Jen had as many “Mr. Rights” as Cassie had jobs. “Shouldn’t there only be one man who gets that title?”
Jen shrugged and leaned back against a desk. “Okay, fine. How about ‘Mr. Right Now’?”
“Better.” Emily pursed her lips. The students were due back soon, but Jen clearly wanted to share. “Tell me about him.”
“He’s in the navy and is stationed down at PAX,” Jen said, gushing. “You know how I love a man in uniform. We’re going on our third date this weekend.”
“Sounds promising.” Emily narrowed her eyes. “But I know you, and the third date is usually the pass or fail.”
Jen’s face broke into a broad grin. “Exactly. Which is why I need my bestest friend here to overanalyze every detail.”
“There is this new invention called a cell phone.”
Jen moaned. “It’s not the same.”
“It’ll have to be enough for now.” Emily sighed. “I leave Friday right after school.”
“We could grab dinner before you go. How about tonight?”
“I can’t tonight. It’s Wednesday, which means Thai takeout and—”
“The Masked Singer,” Jen said, finishing for her. “You’re so predictable. It wouldn’t hurt you to change your routine.”
Emily gave what she hoped was a nonchalant shrug. It wasn’t the first time they’d had this conversation. “You know what they say, if it ain’t broke…”
Rolling her eyes, Jen shook her head. “With that attitude, how will you ever find your Mrs. Right?”
The sound of children’s voices and laughter floated down the hall, growing louder. Emily ducked her head to hide the flush on her cheeks, though her eyes darted toward the door, hoping no one had heard. While she didn’t hide her sexuality, it wasn’t something she openly discussed at work. Most people wouldn’t blink an eye, but she preferred to keep her private life separate from her professional one.
“Sounds like lunchtime is over. I’ll call you later,” Jen said, her blond hair bobbing as she maneuvered around the desks in Emily’s classroom and exited through the side door. Emily loved that they shared a wall. It made it easier to pop in to have a quick consult, and she couldn’t ask for a better teaching partner.

If sibling rivalry was an Olympic event, the Gallagher siblings would win the gold.

Loyal Emily, the eldest, puts family and work above everything else, including her happiness. Ambitious Peter wants nothing more than to finish his doctorate. Meanwhile, free-spirited Cassie's goals change on a whim.

After they're called home to save their family's failing pub, the siblings’ disagreement over the business's future tests their bond. Emily teams up with a hotel heiress to save the pub and rebuild tourism in her home town, but there’s more to their relationship than just business. Peter wants to sell the business, but his attraction to an interested buyer clouds his judgment. Cassie jumps in with Emily’s plans, but her attention is torn between the local mayor and her childhood crush.

But when Cassie suffers a near-death experience, the fate of the pub isn’t the only thing hanging in the balance. The siblings must put aside their differences and choose a course of action before they lose the pub, their bond, and a chance at love.

The Tides That Bind is inspired by Jane Austen's Sense and Sensibility with a modern twist featuring LGBT+ characters. If you enjoy small town settings, heartwarming characters, and hilarious family dynamics, then you'll enjoy Katie Eagan Schenck's charming beach read.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "Save the pub, revive the town, find love: When the Gallagher siblings come home for the summer to help keep their father's pub afloat after his death, they have their work cut out for them. This heartwarming tale of love and community is engaging and deeply satisfying." ~Irene

 

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "The summer after their father dies, Emily, Cassie, and Peter Gallagher all return home to Blue Heron Bay to help their mother run Fiddler's Green, the family's pub. But the three siblings have problems of their own, and they aren't all equally committed to keeping Fiddler's Green—and Blue Heron Bay—afloat. As the summer wears on, the Gallaghers find themselves at odds with one another—and complicated budding love affairs for each of them are only churning the waters." ~Laura
